This was an amazing trip for me and my wife to enjoy a nice private get away. The property was very clean. The owner Gabe was very friendly and kind their dogs were a delight and very playful happy dogs. The experience overall was very nice for both of us.
Very cozy, spectacular views and very accomodating hosts. The kitchen is fully stocked for preparing meals at home and very near major grocery stores for food shopping
I stayed here by myself for 3 weeks while I completed a summer internship at a laboratory in Milford.
I made the mistake of not reading the house manual in detail. Nevertheless, I apologized to Pat and Gabe for not having read the rules and committed to following all of them.
I did my best to communicate with them that I would like to have 1 or 2 people over a week. It often took them 24+ hours to respond to my messages, which was pretty frustrating.
They told me that I would have to give them several days' notice to have 1 or 2 friends over (this was NOT listed in the house manual at the time). When I told them that I couldn't guarantee several days' notice but would try my best, Pat voiced that she thought I was disrespectful and mentioned my age as potentially being the reason why.
Pat's allegations me very uncomfortable, especially as a 25 y/o woman of color who frequently experiences discrimination and microaggressions. It didn't help that my dad had been injured by one of their dogs while helping me move in and Gabe couldn't even ask him if he was okay.
The owners updated the house manual during my stay and listed "harassment by some guests" as the reason they don't allow guests to have visitors. If following all the house rules and asking to casually have a friend over (to not be in complete isolation for three weeks) is harassment, then I don't know what to say.
I wouldn't recommend staying here if you're young or plan on having anyone over.
We really felt like we were secluded from the word but for the view. This place was relaxing, clean and close to everything we wanted to see and do. Easy to find! Lots to do right there too.
Gabe was very communicative and we just loved the dogs. Very friendly.
Beautiful place and attentive and friendly host. The mountains the pool the peacefulness were all incredible. The guides and info left were so thorough and thoughtful. Def an A+ place to visit for one or a family!
The hosts were great, very accommodating. The apartment had everything we needed and was very cozy. The pool and the view were amazing. We would definitely recommend.
The property is very well kept and clean. It is like being at a resort with access to pool and hot tub. Bed is very comfortable. Close to highways, stores, restaurants and outdoor activities. The hosts are very nice.
Wonderful stay with Gabe and Pat. Beautiful location with comfortable accommodations. The trail by the house leads to a beautiful river spot. Great for a picnic. Our daughter was graduating from Yale and this location had easy access to New Haven. Great nearby hiking, shopping and restaurants. Pat and Gabe checked on us often and were easy to contact. Definitely recommend and will book again for future trips
In a remote enough but close enough ti everything you need. Very clean home. Wonderful host and a bunch of nice addditions. Would love to return. Stood herefor the weekend and fell inlove with the property. 10/10 would stay again.
My husband and I wanted a place that was comfortable and close to our son who lives in CT. The location was perfect and access to stores and restaurants was nearby. We felt ver much ch at home there. Would definitely stay again
Our stay was great! They place was well suited for a family visit. We loved the pool and privacy. The hosts were away while we stayed, but they communicated with us ahead of time and we had everything we needed. There was a small/cosmetic maintenance issue that required repair during our stay, but the handyman was poilte and unintrusive. My kids loved the pool, and I couldn't imagine a better place for a family getaway in CT!
VRBO list this apartment as TWO bedrooms. This is NOT TRUE! It is one bedroom with a small living room with a couch or blow up bed. The narrative description says one bedroom. The VRBO description needs to accurately reflect the apartment.
We were scheduled to stay almost two weeks. There was only one dishtowel and insufficient toilet paper. We were asked to skim leaves off surface of pool. We did this but from the start there was debris at the bottom of the pool.
Beautiful neighborhood but unable to walk given dogs that were not leashed.
Nestled in the woods this is a quiet getaway. Very cozy bed and great linens. Owners are very friendly and welcoming. Located close to many restaurants. Short drive to the river. Highly reccommend.

I travel for work & fun.This place is incredible!!! Oasis!
Pat and Gabe are the warmest most thoughtful people. Their dogs, Nate & Molly, are the most well behaved sweetest dogs. So comfortable, clean, stunning views, best pool, great grill, hot tub, a playground! Everything so close: hiking, beach, shopping, fishing, all types of great restaurants. We did it all! Just a perfect place!
Tips n tricks:
- another person suggested bringing your own pillows. Agreed! Especially if you prefer fancy neck pillows or need a certain type of softness/firmness.
- The most gorgeously wooded spot with Instagram worthy views. BUT bring bug spray if you are like my husband who is easily chewed up by mosquitos. (summer only)
- Kitchen pantry: Read the listing and house manual. Reminder: most owners don't stock but occasionally you get ones that do. This is not that. Anything like cling wrap, tin foil, plastic bags, oils, spices, sugar, sheet pans...bring your own or grab at the nearby dollar store.
- The apartment is set to 76 degrees. You have your own air conditioning which cools down but it defaults back to 76. So if you are going on a weekend like ours which was 100 degrees, and you like your temperature cooler (especially for sleeping) bring a fan or grab one at the local Walmart for $20.
Going back in the fall! Can't wait already.
Gorgeous property with an amazing view & fantastic pool. We really enjoyed our stay and would return to this property for another summer stay.
One thing I would mention to future guests: bring your own pillows. For such a great location and space, the pillows are a little sad and need a fresh update.
This is our 2nd time of staying at this house. The hosts are wonderful, Gabe and Pat. Beautiful location, quiet and peaceful. A lot of things to do. Within 5 minutes to restaurants and grocery stores.
I loved this house as it was just the quiet getaway I was looking for. I was traveling with my dog and he couldnât get enough of playing with Molly and Nate. Hoping to come back when its warmer to take full advantage of the amenities.
Excellent. Beautiful location, awesome view with panoramic sunsets. Very clean, neat, easy access from outside, great shower and kitchen. Great Samsung TV with easy hookup to computer and internet. Pat and Gab were wonderful hosts, making the stay very comfortable. Very easy access to stores, shops and resturants. Pools is huge, looked at least 20 by 40, clean and well maintianed. Apartment is smaller than the pics but no big deal. Living room is large with couches and tables. Great place if you have a pet with lots of room outside and safe for pet to play. Their dog Molly is so sweet and friendly. Over all I give it a 10.. Well worth the price..
